Heavy white head, dark orange pour. Smells sour, lambicy fruity, of orange. Tastes light, spicy, floral and weird. Light mouthfeel, semi-watery. Tasted like those old-fashioned violet candies.

***review from Jan 18, 2009***
Found at Khory’s in southish Henderson, NV.... I’m looking at the bill and the grand total was 201.16$...
Poured out a thin super bubbly white cap that lives on the rim with almost no lacing. The beer was a medium amber colour that was not quite clear. I say was because I dumped all the sludge in and now its kind of a reddish tinged apricot nectar looking thingy. The aroma is quite nice and fresh with sweet flowers, apricot, honey, light bread, light sour berry, weak spices. The taste is very very light and quite tangy with flowers, weak bitterness, light bready malts, pepper, a bit water and I find it gassy. Sounds like a pretty plain description but this does taste quite different and it is very yummy. Soft and fluffy to the mouth..wow, just got a mouth full of flowers. Finished tannic, flowery. Highly over priced but it sounded quite rare and the ingredient list definetly made it a must buy.

Looks like orange pop with hints of brown a small sparkly cap floats on top reducing to only a meager skiff in a matter of a few short moments. Aroma is mild and cool (cool as in the way the air smells on a cold winters day) berries, floral aromas and the unmistakable smell of chewy candy all round out this aroma. Plop, plop is the sound of Gully refilling my glass as muddy sediment now clouds the beer. Taste is crisp and sharp with a mild sourness. Tangerine, honey, mild bready malts, some pepper, and a flower shop, this a strange combo that makes the flavour very refreshing. It has a watered down taste like juice made from concentrate that had too much water added to it. this would be a great beer in the heat of summer and not the dead of winter in beercronics basement. Thanks Gully

33.8 oz bottle 4/24/09 (Discount Liquor-Milwaukee)-A darker hazy amber body with some floaties stuck in time. Aroma of floral with some citrus and yeast. Taste of everything listed with a little sourness. This light bodied brew is very intricate and different. Quite tasty and drinkable.

Really gorgeous light peachy-gold color with a whisper of pink and a huge, loose pouffy white head. Bright, slightly tart aroma with alluring faint suggestion of roses and red fruits over a soft bit of spice. The aroma is nice, but you really have to go after it. It would easily be overlooked if this beer-for-quaffing was merely quaffed. The flavor suggests elderberries in the background of a nearly zero malt profile and not alcohol characteristics which leaves you wanting more from the thin, light, watery, body. Something to enhance or magnify the unique qualities of this beer would be nice. In short, this is a cool beer that would be perfect in a Spring garden party, but not necessarily in a pub somewhere. Fun to try.

A nice flowery citrus aroma. This has some crazy floral bite to this. Very tangy with a lot of citrus. Mostly just strange. No way to accurately describe this and I’m not sure if I like it.
